Approved March 81, 1966

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. That § 29-65, as amended, of the Code of Virginia be amended and
reenacted as follows:

§ 29-65. The Commission shall have authority to appoint agents for
the issuance and sale of the permits provided for in this title; the Com-
mission may designate agents in towns for the issuance and sale of licenses
provided for in this title. If the clerk of any court desires to be relieved
of this duty, or gives his consent thereto in writing, the Commission shall
have authority to require its agents also to sell hunting, trapping and fish-
ing licenses in the place of or in addition to the clerk; provided, however,
that in the counties of Franklin and Scott * the Commission may appoint
not exceeding five agents; and in the county of Pittsylvania not exceeding
ten agents; for the sale of such permits and licenses who shall be in addi-
tion to the clerk of the circuit court of such county. Such agents shall be
subject to the laws covering the issuance and sale of licenses and the
regulations of the Commission as to the issuance and sale of permits. The
compensation of agents for issuing licenses and permits shall be fixed by
the Commission but shall not be more for issuing licenses than provided
in this title for clerks of courts. Before such appointment shall become
effective, the agent shall deposit with the Commission a bond of a surety
company entitled to do business in this State, payable to the Common-
wealth, in the penalty of one thousand dollars, or such additional amount
as the Commission may require, conditioned for the faithful performance
of his duties.
